Don, there's a difference between making a market and entering it late. Sure, maybe there were mp3 players before iPod, bu tnothing approaching it's cool and certainly when the market was tiny tiiny. iPod really made the market. It didn't just steal business from a dominant player. The market is more mature now and apple more dominant, though nothing is total. Dan

Apple Computer will continue to dominate the MP3 player market, which is projected to grow from an installed base of 16.2 million last year to 56.1 million by 2010. Total Hype! There is absolutely no way to project or imply how Apple will fare that far out. Just look how quickly Apple came out of no where to become a player. That could happen just as quickly to another company with the right product. You're right! Let me know when that competitor shows up. Sony's PSP is a competitor for the wallet, but not for music. PSP will do well, but most of those who buy it already have an iPod.
